Wonder Woman #35 — Tracing Diana’s Origins Through Steve’s Eyes
Stephanie Williams and Clayton Henry take Wonder Woman #35 on a temporal leap. As Steve Trevor and Trinity race against the Fates, they uncover a fresh take on Diana’s past that might just be the key to her future. A heartfelt, high-stakes detour through myth and time.
There is something quietly magnetic about stories that shift the camera angle. Usually, we see Wonder Woman through the lens of warriors, gods, or her closest allies. But in issue #35, writer Stephanie Williams and artist Clayton Henry turn the focus to the man who has always loved her most: Steve Trevor. It’s a fresh narrative vantage point that promises to reshape how we feel about the iconic hero, grounding her mythic stature in the intimate perspective of someone who knew her before the world did.
The situation is urgent and beautifully complex. After a devastating sacrifice made to the Fates, Steve and Trinity find themselves hurtling through time. Their mission is specific and desperate: reach the Matriarch before her bloody campaign can alter the timeline. But time travel is rarely a straight line, and this journey offers more than just a race against the clock. It provides a chance to revisit the origin of Wonder Woman as you have never seen it before, filtered entirely through the eyes of the man who loved her.
Clayton Henry’s art brings a kinetic grace to the temporal displacement, balancing the mythological weight of the Fates with the human emotion driving the narrative. This isn’t just about saving the future; it’s about understanding the past. The question hanging over this issue is whether Diana’s history holds the specific key needed to save her tomorrow. It’s a setup that invites you to look closer at the details of her origin, recontextualizing what you thought you knew about her earliest days.
If you enjoy exploring the softer, more personal sides of DC’s heavy hitters, this is a wonderful place to drop in. The focus on Steve Trevor allows for a character study that feels both timeless and immediate. You don’t need to have been reading every month to appreciate the emotional weight of seeing Diana through this specific, devoted lens. It’s a poignant detour that honors the character’s history while pushing the plot into exciting new territory.
Keep an eye on the cover by Jeff Spokes. It captures the emotional core of the story, hinting at the deep bond between Steve and Diana that drives this entire narrative. It’s a striking image that reflects the heart of Williams and Henry’s run. This is one of those issues where the art and the premise work in perfect harmony to tell a story that feels essential, even if you’re just joining the ride now.
